Amy, my daughter is Cristina of Sweet Pea Ink and she told me about a wonderful woman she met at Silver Bella and gave me your blog addy. I visit often and you have touched my heart in a very special way. I lived in three foster homes and they saved my life. Being a foster mother is an amazing gift you give and one that is also very difficult to do. I do hope you feel better soon...life can be so full of ups and downs. Thank you for sharing yourself and may blessings rain upon your day.Catherine Aguilera

I have found your blog, and been reading for for quite a time tonight. My heart is touched & I am so happy that the world is a better place because of pepole like you! My prayers are with you my new friend!

Missing you Amy... I hadn't realized how much I look forward to hearing from you each day. You are like a ray of sunshine!I am SO sorry you're not feeling yourself. I remember after I had my son, my hormones got all whacked out (!) and I felt like a stranger to myself, too. Not a good feeling at all.Remember... this too shall pass.Hang in there- I'm praying for you.XO-

Amy- Hang in there. I have been there myself and know the frustration and pain. Know that this will pass and you will be back to yourself soon. Just wanted to send my thoughts and prayers your way. Mary Sue

Amy~I just discovered your blog...You are amazing and have a wonderful, big heart!! I went thru a time kinda like you have mentioned. I was on medication for a while but still wasn't myself. I had to do a detox/cleanse and start to eat only "Clean" foods. Nothing processed. Fruits, veggies, nuts, organic free range meats. Smoothies made with berries and OJ, etc....I really feel better than my old self now! I would love to have you stop by my blog for a visit!Blessings~ LillySue

Amy - Love and prayers to you. It sounds like you are going through something similar to what I experienced 4 years ago...going through menopause. If you don't get the help need - KEEP seeking help. I had to find the right Dr. to help me - and I got back to ME! YAY. If you need/want to...write to me - o.k. xo, Cheryl

Amy, I can so relate to you, right now, girl. Please check out the book Spent ( http://www.spentmd.com ), you can read a few pages of it on Amazon, too. I picked it up at my library and I think it would REALLY help you. And maybe also look up your symptoms on http://www.womentowomen.com -they have great information, and take their quiz, I think you will be happy you did.

I don't check your blog all the time but SHOULD. You are wonderfully talented. I had a much too long (still struggling) bout with trying to figure out thyroid levels. Ditto-don't feel like myself. I wish you the best of luck. PS-the ribbon chandelier-I saw something like that in a PB idea book-I had it on my to do list and now I REALLY want to finish it!! lovely.
